Can you get cruise on a manual?

Can you get cruise on a manual?

yes you can

definatly can get cruise with a manual, except it would be rare in the non Sports / VRX / Ralliart range

yes you can
Can you? What happens when you set cruise to 100 and you're in first?

a mate had cruise on his manual MR2. Would only work in 5th gear. I presume it would be a standard set up for manuals

Can you? What happens when you set cruise to 100 and you're in first?

All the cruise control fitted cars I have driven you have to be the desired speed to set it (eg: if you want 100kph you have to reach it to set the cruise.). It's also like that in my aftermarket fitted cruise on my Manual TF

We should move this to somewhere else rather than in this guy's for sale thread, but...

My two manual cars have cruise, both work in any gear, but only over 40km/h. You set it at whatever speed you are doing, and it will hold that speed. The clutch will cancel, just like the brake. If you resume in a gear that won't make the resume speed (eg Redav's 100km/h in 1st), the car is just like you, it will accelerate until you need to change gear, it won't give you full throttle to do it though. You can't resume until above 40km/h, so if you accelerate up to 42 in first, then call for a resume, it will try to go there, but will only make it to the rev limiter, you can choose to stay in first if you like, but I'd tend to change gears, thus cancelling the cruise.

The toyota will not resume once you have gone below 40km/h, which is a real pain, as you have to keep setting it if you have stopped or slowed down. But that is not just in manual, any work toyotas with cruise are the same.

Have just received a new manual commodore ute at work with cruise, and it works the same too. It will resume after stopping, just like the Galant.

Can you? What happens when you set cruise to 100 and you're in first?My manual VRX has factory cruise.

With the factory system, you can do the above!

You would have to be driving at 100km/h then "Set" cruise active. If you then cancelled it by hitting the cancel swtich, brake or clutch, then stopped the car, put it in first, take off, reach 40km/h then hit "Resume", the car would attempt to return to 100km/h but would hit the rev limiter.

With the factory system, if you try to "Resume" when the car is in neutral it just revs out too!

You would think they should have set up, some sort of "fail safe"...:confused:

*Edit* A Manga is the same as a Galant, you can only resume or set cruise active once you are above 40km/h.

Yep my Galant HJ V6 does exactly what was explained above.

I've had a manual and Auto Magna. They both 'resume' at 40kph. Oh, and the Manual held speeds up hill better. The Auto appears to 'leach' speed uphill .. e.g Manual will romp up a slope and hold 110kph :P , but auto will bleed down to about 105kph half way up :confused: . Both in Fifth gear.

98 TF manual, with factory cruise :) (I won't buy a car unless it has cruise ... saved me from dozens of fines!!!!)

I think they should have a coupla more failsafes. e.g if the handbrake comes on ... as it stands the passenger would have a hard time cancelling cruise if the driver 'collapsed'.

If you knock it outta gear it should cancel if it hits 5500, as it stands it will bounce off the rev limiter until the speed drops below 10-15% of wot it is set at, then cruise cuts out ... e.g on a big hill if it can't pull it (say a trailer on) then it will slow down and eventually kill the cruise (at about 90kmh if set at 100kmh).
